| I was driving a 2004 mazda tribute for about 45 minutes on the expressway in 10 deg. f temperatures with the speed control on and set to 70 mph. when i approached the exit ramp i pressed the speed control off button but noticed that the vehicle was not slowing down. i then tapped the brakes while going up the exit ramp. still the vehicle was not slowing down. i was able to stop the vehicle at the stop light and placed the transmission in neutral. the engine revved up to 4500rpm. i turned the key completely off then restarted the engine. again it revved up to 4500rpm. i turned it off and restarted again. still the engine ran up to 4500rpm in neutral. the light turned green so i carefully put the transmission in drive and drove with my foot on the brake to a nearby parking lot. i stopped and turned off the engine for several minutes. i could tell by the smell that the brakes were hot. this time when i restarted the engine it revved up to about 3000 then slowly came down to normal idle speed. i drove it the rest of my trip without any trouble but did not use the speed control. the check engine light did come on as a result of this episode. *tr | |||

| I was driving on a freeway (4 lane - 65 mph speed limit) on the afternoon of 2/3/2007 with my cruise control set to 65 mph. i noticed that i was speeding up, and within a short time, my speed had climbed to about 90 mph. at first, i thought this was a malfunction of my speed control, but after touching the brake and turning the speed control off, it continued to go about 90 mph. at this time, i noticed an exit coming up in about 1 mile - so i kept touching the break to keep the speed about 75-80 and when i approached the exit, shut off the car and coasted to the top of the ramp. with the car safely stopped, i was able to get the car towed to a service station, where the mechanic pulled off the air filter assembly going into what i think is a throttle chamber and found a large piece of ice holding either the choke or throttle causing the problem. it is important to note that the temperatures that day were very cold - about 10 degrees f. below zero. after removing the ice and cleaning out the chamber with silicon, and allowing it to warm up for about 15 minutes - everything was okay. i should note that i had taken the vehicle into the local mazda dealer about a month earlier because i noticed the throttle was sticking - they serviced it and it seemed to be okay, until the incident on 2/3/07. when i called the mazda dealership, they told me that there was a safety recall on the throttle assembly, but they showed this part had been replaced already. i am concerned that ice can build up in this area and the same thing will happen again, whenever it is cold out. i haven't seen another similar complaint, but thought it would be a good idea to document this - this could have easily caused a major accident. *nm | |||

| My wife purchased a used 2004 mazda tribute. the accelerator cable failed and when it failed the car engine was at full throttle without the ability to stop it. a failure that defaults to full acceleration is an obvious defect. i checked the internet and learned that the car had been recalled to correct that defect. i called mazda and was told that the recall work had been done on the car. i told mazda that the recall work had not fixed the problem and that a failure that defaults to a throttle at full acceleration is a massively dangerous defect. they basically said we did all we had to do. this is very dangerous condition and will cause injury or death. *tr | |||
